DC Area/Heart+Mind Strategies: Obama leads in DC and MD suburbs, tied in NoVa

[Sbane]

This poll left out the independent cities in Virginia, where Obama blows the competition away.

Yeah that's what I suspected. The poll is highly doubtful.

It only excludes Fredricksburg, Alexandria and Manassas. Even excluding those cities, you would really expect Obama to at least have a 10 point lead in NOVA. The high margin of error is worth noting though.

There has been quite the liberal push back on poll number today. Must be a changing tide for Romney.

Are you trying to be a joke poster?

Or in another words, she doesn't know and just knows what she is told.


What were the NOVA results in 2008?

Excluding the cities it was 56.7-43.3 Obama. Excluding Arlington County as well it was 55.5-45.5. And including all the cities it was 57.6-42.4. So anyway you cut it, this is a bad poll for Obama.
